Local homebrew shop refused to sell me full bags (x2) of any base grains yesterday due to low inventory(large shop, they had 10-12 bags on hand). Drove 1 hour round trip and needed the grains for a double batch I had planned on brewing Sunday to fill a barrel I recently picked up from a local brewery, only to be denied due to “people coming out of nowhere to homebrew” excuse from the owner. These guys have tested my patience quite a few times and this has ended up being the straw that breaks the camels back, so to speak. The plan wasn’t to “toilet paper” their supply, they had the bags and refused to sell to a customer who’s spent THOUSANDS of dollars (not to mention the time to travel to support them) who’s in the store ready to buy! Crazy.
Vent over. Anyone else encounter any similar struggles acquiring supplies locally?
